    Abstract:

    The ptotic chin syndrome, which occurs most commonly, but not exclusively, in patients missing lower teeth, is discussed with regard to pathogenesis, analysis, and treatment. Surgical correction is aimed at reversing ptosis by performing mentopexy, and increasing projection. This technique offers noteworthy improvement for affected patients.
